Does the PAL GC version have a 50/60Hz selector?
I beat Separate Ways and Assignment Ada earlier today, and yeah, neat little additions but SW alone doesn't warrant another purchase. How many goddamn times did they have to throwAncestor said:
Krauser
The battle in Leon's campaign was extremely well done, but the encounter at the end of Assignment Ada felt like an afterthought on the designers' part. I actually groaned when he appeared - and come on, fighting on a straight path? Snore. At least there was some variation to the SW battle. I know AA's just a bonus mission, but still. Let her fight one of Salvador's guardians, whichever one of the bastards that chases you down in Leon's campaign.
Which boss? I'm guessing you're not counting
Krauser
the cage monster, then yeah, it was intense. That was probably my favorite fight, having to find the switches to proceed to the next compartment while dodging the bastard's attacks was a rush.
I really got creeped out in
the lab with the regenerators
the regenarators' "breathing", or whatever bodily function of theirs makes that sound,
So now that I'm done with the story-based elements, does anyone have tips for success in Mercenaries mode? Highest I've scored is a lousy 2 stars with Leon in the Granado village. I have trouble keeping up streaks, the most I've killed in a row is either 7 or 8. Maybe I waste too much time running about trying to maintain position. Help!
Just beat the game! 
The clock stopped at 16 hours (on normal).
This is indeed a GOTY candidate. This game was a true blast from start to finish. I dont think I've played a game this intense before. Now I know why GAF was going crazy on this game. It's that goood!
I really, really loved the boss fights in RE4. They are in fact on par with MGS3. I'm amazed how Capcom has put so much effort in to this game. I mean you can play it in 100 different ways. Right now I'm amped on this game. I want to make love to Ada I want to talk more about the game but I dont like writing so much... plus it feels like everyone already knew this game was awesome.
Next up Separate ways. Btw, when can you purchase the PRL 412 with Leon?

Professional is pretty fucking hard. More or less anything will kill you in two hits. Even at the end with maxed out health and the tactical vest, any two hits would kill me. If you're going to do it, I'd suggest using the 2nd outifts - the gangster outfit acts as a tactical vest, and Ashley can't be hurt in her armor, and enemies will try to pick her up and fail, so she actually works great as bait. I did it that way and still had problems at points, I'd imagine it'd be a lot harder not being able to use her as bait.

ok I am inside castle now. I cleared the Fire bomb catapult part, should I sell the sniper rifle and buy the mine gun or the new shot gun?
Solid said:i'm listening to the soundtrack right now. aweosme stuff!
fuck i really dug the 2 gigante fight. that was probably the coolest fight ever.you drain one of them in lava, how cool isnt that
whats your favourite boss fights in the game?
I still like Del Lago the best. Just such a cool idea, and unlike any boss fight I've ever played in a game before.
That alien/predator thing (where the N2 tanks are) was also awesome. Although I swear it took longer than 4 minutes for that door to open.
Solid said:yeah the el lago fight was was great too. nice tribute to the jaws
the last fight was very neat as well. hell every fight was great but those that i have mentioned was very special.
one thing though, wasnt wesker suppose to be in the game?
He's definitely in the game.

Huh? There is no tactical vest in pro mode and I don't think the special outfits have the damage reduction of the tactical vest.
oh okay i get itCVXFREAK said:Don't forget that Leon's not the only one in this story.
for a second there i actually thought i'd miss 1/3 of the story hehe.ada is damn hot though. i'm not afraid to admit that girls in games can be hot. ada sure is one of them. i like how capcom made her look super sexy when she gets
off the boat after taking leon with her to the island. i dunno if you guts remember this moment but i sure do

That doesn't explain how he was playing with vest on pro mode on the PS2 version.
I had the opportunity to revisit RE4 GC at a friend's house and wow, the difference in graphics is night and day. The lighting makes a huge difference. I was at the rocky blue area just before the lab where the cultists imprison Ashley and blew up one of those carts full of explosive barrels. The way the flames illuminated everything in their path was a sight to behold - probably the nicest display of lighting effects I've seen this generation. Another thing I liked was the reduced load times, especially those for bringing up the inventory screen and going back to the game. The lag in bringing up and cancelling that screen in the PS2 version is only a second or two longer, but it was enough of an interruption to annoy me during hectic encounters. What else? The GC's higher enemy detail and poly counts were noticeable, but they didn't stand out as much as the lighting, nor did the better audio. Interestingly enough, I've grown so accustomed to the PS2 controller that I prefer using it over the GC pad now. It actually took some time to get used to the GC layout and sensitivity again.
I feel bad for anyone who thought Separate Ways and a few new costumes would be worth the extra $40. The PS2 port remains an impressive feat and a fantastic source of entertainment, but the true RE4 experience is on the GC.
Switching to gameplay discussion, I really wish there was a money or weapon code unlocked after you beat the main campaign. I don't care to spend time scrounging up the million pesatas required for the Chicago typewriter. I don't even care to unlock the P.R.L., at this point I just want to blast infested giblet-heads to kingdom come with powerful weaponry. Is that too much to ask?

how is this game sell ing on sps2, or is offical tha ll gc to ps2 ports will bomb, is mikami's curse that strong. :lol :lol
Finished Separate Ways today. Everything is so much more clearer on the Ada front now. Still some ?s though.
It's too bad you dont have a boss fight selector in RE4 as in MGS2 and MGS3, that'd be great, cause I'd love to show some of the boss' to some friends of mine. I know they would be impressed
Did she really hand the serum over to Wesker? What is this organization? Was it Umbrella? Maybe I missed some of the plot. The Saddler fight with Ada was very cool. Not as impressive as Leons fight against him but very cool.
OK, I'm getting very bored with this game. I'm about about 4hr:30min playtime and I just finished

Maybe it gets better once you get out of the village, but at this point, while the mechanics are still fun to play the novelty has worn off a bit and shooting endlessly at the same villagers over and over again with the occasional El Gigante thrown in is getting pretty damn repetitive. Not living up to the GOTY talk for me at this point.
the whole barracade yourself in the house scenario before you have the two left and right branch choice in the village
